What People Are Saying

Overall Experience

The restaurant provides a generally positive dining experience, particularly noted for its unique atmosphere and high-quality fish. While expensive, the spot appears to be popular, drawing crowds.

Customer Favorites

The lox, especially the pastrami salmon, is highly praised. Other frequently mentioned items are the cured fish (sable and sturgeon), and the bagels themselves, though opinions vary on their quality.

Atmosphere & Service

The restaurant boasts a vintage or old-school charm, described as elegant, nostalgic, and rooted in tradition. The staff is generally regarded as friendly and welcoming, although the interior can be chaotic due to its popularity.

Value & Quality

Pricing is a significant concern, with customers frequently mentioning "top dollar" and questioning the value proposition for bagels and other items. While the cured fish is consistently rated as high-quality, bagel quality is seen as average by some reviewers with deli experience.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers felt the bagels were only average and suggested better bagels could be found elsewhere. The high prices compared to the perceived value was another area mentioned by multiple reviewers.

Recent Trends

More recent reviews highlight the vintage decor and friendly service as standout qualities. While the food quality remains generally positive, cost continues to be a prominent consideration for customers.
